Here is a 1958 news article with a cool photo of carver Milano Guanko caring one of the Trader Dick's Tikis on-site. Also noted in the article was Eli Hedley the designer and decorator. This makes me think that Eli had a pretty good working relationship with Milano and help sell his Tikis around the states.
